Well, can't really look that far ahead. AC37 is pretty open. Strong line up of teams all in with a chance, barring the French realistically.

It's still NZs cup though. Ideally it would've been good to sail 37 in NZ, but the economics weren't there. If we defend, hoping 38 will be back in NZ.

Seriously? He decimated TNZ, and took the Cup to Switzerland. Plenty of us have not forgotten nor forgiven him for that.

Settle down, we haven't called for it to be abolished. Yes some of us have issues with its contrived nature - and the way Wussell does things. Being critical of it and suggesting improvements is not a bad thing.

^^^^ Looking good for a first days sail. They'll get their maneuvers much better with more practice. So good to see these other AC40s sailing now.

Love the paint job....looks great.

Alinghi have received their second AC40.. Won't be long before we see two 40s blasting around Barcelona.

Alinghi take delivery of their AC40

Twin engined RIB? I think you need quad 450s to be considered a serious contender...

Not everyone in NZ is happy with GD's plans, but to describe ETNZ's reputation as "so low" is an exaggeration in my opinion.

How do you know B/T made that call? I'm of the belief that RC makes all the hiring/firing calls for SailGp. Says who? One incessant whinger in here?

Pretty sure he was on R88 for the Fastnet.

I don't think that was Botin's fault. The sail and rig designers failed to produce a "power plant" that could work in the lower ranges. That was ETNZ's big plus, that they could get the boat with the smallest foils to still work in the light stuff.

 Ernesto - "you need more engineers than sailors" It's easy to identify and buy good sailors. Much trickier to identify the innovative engineers with whom one needs to buy.......and all the good foiling designers have been locked in by the other teams...... Go fuck yourself a thousand times...

Haha.....I'm sure you would......

As it stands now, this is the best LR have ever done in the AC. Plenty to be proud of, and yes PB would have to be one of the better billionaires getting around - not that I know any personally........

That would be great.....a bigger event with these boats would be quite the spectacle. Race 9 has really shown how match racing can be when you get a bit more breeze on a shifty course.

If NZ defend and Prada drop out, EB might go for Jimmy.....
